Meghan Markle [1]'s no stranger to wearing jeans [2], and being engaged to Prince Harry hasn't stopped her from doing so. When the couple stepped out in Cardiff, Wales [3], in January, the former Suits star [4] wore a pair of high-waisted skinny jeans by Hiut, and it didn't take long for the British brand to be inundated with orders [5]. "The website went absolutely crazy. We have a backorder waiting list for three months [...] The effect has been remarkable," David Hieatt, one of the founders of the company, told DailyMail.
Of course, it isn't the first time that the "Meghan Markle effect" [6] has had such a big impact on a business. For her very first official engagement, the royal fiancée carried a tote bag by Strathberry [7], which, according to a press release from the Scottish brand, sold out in 11 minutes flat. A few weeks later, Meghan chose another one of the label's designs [8], and the bags now just won't stay in stock [9]. Read on to get a closer look at those jeans, and then shop the same style — if you don't mind having to wait to get your hands on them! — as well as similar options.
